PKM just texted me and said Randle went on the Subway diet. He has only been eating the Chicken Enchilada since it came out.

Sounds more like Embiid's chocolate cream diet.

If I take Parker I pass on McDermott. 2 combo forwards with similar qualities? You can't play both togeter and maintain good defense, but deserve more than 48min combined. Nah.
I'm still high on Adreian Payne. He's clutch as well!
 
McD is a role player in the NBA.

Can't defend anyone. Not SF's, not PF's. No one.

Can't create his own offense. His handles are non-existent, despite being a senior. Doesn't have the strength to establish low post position, nor the length or athleticism to finish over NBA defenders down low.

He's an incredible shooter who hustles and moves well without the ball. Someone like Popovich could make good use of him, but his upside is really limited in the NBA, no doubt about it.

Yeah, Nah, I wouldn't touch him. I'd probably even put him in my Marcus Smart basket - and that's saying something.
 
McDermott has a slow/short 1st step; in the loss vs St Johns, Jakarr Sampson was able to stonewall some of McDermotts drives way too easily, i can remember one play where McDermott took 2 dribbles from the top of the Key and Sampson took 1step backwards at the same time and was right infront of him. McDermott was held scoreless for the last 8:40 in that game

I think Doug has a chance to not be a roleplayer though, hed have to be an off the ball demon like Rip Hamilton running circles all game, his athleticism isnt as sub-par doing that

Also, that roster would be extremely cheap so we could spend alot of money on free agents and be looking at a decent run in the playoffs.

Adding those players in this draft is definately a best case scenario imo

I see a cross between Ryan Anderson and David Lee, but McDermott's lack of length probably limits him in the post (vs. David Lee). It would be worth working him out against an NBA defender.

Your hate for Smart is so retarded. I understand if you don't think he's going to be an All-Star, but grouping him with someone who doesn't have the potential to be anything more than a role player? Come on.
 
McDermott is like a much better version of Matt Bonner. He has to go the right team, and have a very good PG on his team to succeed.

I do not think that we are that team, but I do like watching him play.
 
I just started reading an article. This has so much potential. Have to link it with a snippet...

https://grantland.com/features/bill-simmons-breaks-down-the-2014-worst-nba-contracts/

When we attended Monday-night Raw in L.A. last week, I gave them a $100 salary cap on whatever they wanted. They spent $60 on two T-shirts,1 $13.50 on pretzels and popcorn, and $9 on two Icee Cokes, leaving me $17.50.

Here’s the point: THIS ISN’T HARD. But had I brought Joe Dumars along as a spending adviser, they would have ended up with a $50 Rey Mysterio mask that my son already has, two T-shirts that were the wrong size … and then, they would have had to borrow an extra $30 for food and drinks.
